The Brooklyn-based band the Roughstars are a self-proclaimed "Bump-Rock" band, best known for their ability to amalgamate the styles of soul, rock, electro, funk, and 80's pop into one effusive, "mashed up" sound.. The Home Style Cooking signed Roughstars site The Clash, Funkadelic, Timbaland and ESG as their most formidable influences. The Roughstars are comprised of band members Lars (previously a member of hardcore bands Side By Side and Judge), Vito and Bullet Brown. Whereas Vito and Bullet Brown bless the group with heartfelt vocals, Lars compliments their words with "tweaked digital funk and dusted live instrumentation." Contemporaries of the Roughstars include Danger Mouse and Jemini, Mike Ladd, and TV on the Radio.
